Node.js help sought

[JWHoneycutt]

I am experimenting with Node.js, and merged 3 TW5 files a few weeks ago.  I re-merged it from separate TW5 files when I discovered that TW5 5.1.15 was available.

In the past 2 days, I have lost the ability to see/add/edit tags when in "tiddler edit mode" - when it renders, the tags are there, but I can't modify them.  This makes the Node.js file close to useless, given how I modify tags (a lot).

I either need:

1) (Find / fix) the (shadow / system) tiddler that is hiding my ability to edit tags, or

2) Export all the Node.js tiddlers to a merged standard TW5.html file that I access using TiddlyDesktop and I abort Node.js (and will my problem persist?)

Has anybody else accidentally lost tag editing ability?

Thanks,

Hi,

You can got to ControlPanel: Info: Basics page and have a look at: "Number of overridden shadow tiddlers:" and click the icon.

You'll get this [is[tiddler]is[shadow]sort[title]] filter in the Advanced Search. It shows your overwritten shadows. ...

May be one of them is a problem, since you changed / imported it. ....

BACKUP!!!!!!!!!!!!! and delete the stuff, till you find out.

just a guess

Have you tried dragging and dropping the https://tiddlywiki.com/#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fui%2FEditTemplate%2Ftags to your wiki?

The good news is that this is almost certainly a strange interaction between the three wikis you combined and not a bug with tiddlywiki itself.

If you can't see it than it is probably either a css tiddler that is hiding the section or the tiddler for displaying tag is the edit mode is overwritten.
The tiddler that displays the tags in edit mode is called $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags so if you open that tiddler and delete it that may solve the problem.

If that doesn't fix the problem than the next step would be to make a tiddler and put this in it:

<$list filter='[all[]tag[$:/tags/Stylesheet]]'>


</$list>

and then look at each tiddler in that list and see if any have a line 

display: none;

if so try removing the tag from the tiddler.

If that doesn't work than I may need to give a longer answer.

Thank you SO much.  It worked, and was a lot simpler than exporting them out and doing cleanup. I had tagged the editTemplate/tags tiddler with a tag I call syntax when I find something I need to learn (about syntax) - and inadvertently gave it characteristics I did not expect from a shadow tiddler.  Again, thanks.
